Christian Life
Hello Everyone! I am so excited to tell you about Christian Life. Watching a child come to Christ is the most exciting and most rewarding thing that has ever happened in my life. Christian Life was established to be a God driven avenue for introducing children to the Awesome message of Jesus Christ. By establishing exciting and meaningful relationships with kids, leaders can earn their trust, allowing hearts to be won by God. This isn't done overnight, but takes dedicated and heart felt interest in the lives of our young ones. Kids are so impressionable; they are like sponges, soaking up everything they hear and see. Our goal is for kids to hear the word of God, see it lived everyday by leaders who truly care about them, so that kids will open their hearts for God to set up a new home in them.
I personally have seen the changes that occur when a child opens his/her heart to God. God says for us to plant the seeds, and He will make them grow (1Cor 3:6). Children are our future, and we want to see a future that is filled with the Awesome love of God.
God Bless!
Frontier Forge - Exercising God's Great Commission
Dear Fellow Christians:
We hope this letter finds you all well. Christian Life has felt a calling from God to continue to grow in our faith in regards to Youth Ministry and have decided to take the leap of faith and spread the love we have for Jesus to kids around the world in an awesome way. Having constantly prayed for guidance, we have decided to develop a Youth Christian Camp where kids can be introduced to God and little hearts can be changed forever.
The purpose of this camp is to exercise God’s Great Commission of sharing the love of Jesus Christ by establishing meaningful relationships with kids, earning their trust, and introducing them to the Awesome Life with Jesus Christ.
We are very excited about the opportunity to serve God in this capacity. We have felt for some time now that God is with us on this, and we look to glorify Him in all that we do to the best of our abilities.
We are posting this to ask for your help. The first and most important thing we need is prayer. We would like for you to pray for us and for our entire team as we step out in servitude with God. Pray for our lives, that our walk with Jesus will be an earthly example of Jesus followers, and pray that God’s hand is in all that we do. Also, pray for the kids to whom we will be ministering – that through our efforts, they will come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior. Secondly, we would like to ask you to prayerfully consider providing financial support for this sizeable endeavor. The initial cost estimates to cover acquiring property, establishing lodging, building a roundup room, cafeteria, and sports / activities areas are quite large. This is much larger than us, but not too big for God.
We are not asking you to break the bank. We are asking that if you feel driven by God and would like to financially participate in this awesome journey of changing our world by impacting kids for Christ, please send a check made out to Christian Life, Inc. with "Frontier Forge" in the memo line. Please mail the check to:
Christian Life, Inc.
P.O. Box 91
Sherrills Ford, NC 28673
Any amount you feel led to give is greatly appreciated. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we excitedly and obediently step out with God to accomplish His work.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Sincerely,
Christian Life

Kids, Are you going through some painful times? You are not alone. Listen to what Jeremy Camp has to say about God's Love. Just click on the video below.
Show God's Love For His Kids
Christian Life is excited about serving God by loving His Children. In 1 Cor 13:4-7, God lays out the definition of love:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
In 1 John 3:18 He told us how to love:
Dear Children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
And in 1 John 4:10 He demonstrated the true meaning of love to all of us:
This is love: Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
I thank God everyday He is not just a God of rules and words, but that He is a God of love and action. I pray that all of us recognize His Love for us, and use it as a template for the way that we love others. As God's word tells us, Love is not a feeling, love is a deliberate choice of action.
As we go forward from today, I pray that all of us choose to love as God has chosen to love us.
The Christian Life ministries need your help. Our goal is to raise the funds necessary to build Frontier Forge Christian Camp, where God's love will be poured into the little hearts of his children, and new lives will be born in Him. Any little bit helps. God Bless!
Christian Life
Something I discovered the other day really amazed me. When I was studying The Truth Project DVDs, one of the subjects that was being discussed was the "nature of God" and what he wanted for us as his children. This is what I learned and what got me so excited.
The tribunal nature of God is God in 3 persons: That is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Father and the Son are one, as shown in John 14 which says:
John 14:10 (New International Version)
10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
However, the relationship between the Father and the Son, even though they are one, is one of submittal from the Son to the Father. The Holy Spirit is also part of God and can be sent by the Father as well as the Son.
Now, what is the relationship we have with God? There is God, and the severed relationship that happened at the Fall in the Garden of Eden. But God has given us his son, so that whoever believes in him, shall have eternal life. (John 3:16) But what is this gift that God is offering? Let's take a look at it.
In this relationship, there are also 3 parts. There is God the Father, man, and the gift of Jesus. If we accept Jesus as our personal savior, the once severed relationship between God and man is restored. When it is restored, Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to live in us.
John 14:15-17 (New International Version)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you.
What does that resemble? God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit in us. Yes, that is the tribunal makeup of God Himself!! God is offering us eternal life IN HIM!! That is the most awesome gift for those that believe in Christ as their savior.
If you do not know Christ as your savior, think of the gift from God that you are giving up. A chance to be like Christ, in God. Don't miss this opportunity. Accept Jesus as your personal savior and receive the Holy Spirit from God. It will change your life here on earth, AND, when we go to heaven we will become a part of God!
